RESUMO
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to verify the association between the genetic variants of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) and ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) genes and the presence and severity of gefitinib-associated adverse reactions. We systematically searched PubMed, Virtual Health Library/Bireme, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science databases for relevant studies published up to February 2024. In total, five studies were included in the review. Additionally, eight genetic variants related to ABCB1 (rs1045642, rs1128503, rs2032582, and rs1025836) and ABCG2 (rs2231142, rs2231137, rs2622604, and 15622C>T) genes were analyzed. Meta-analysis showed a significant association between the ABCB1 gene rs1045642 TT genotype and presence of diarrhea (OR = 5.41, 95% CI: 1.38-21.14, I2 = 0%), the ABCB1 gene rs1128503 TT genotype and CT + TT group and the presence of skin rash (OR = 4.37, 95% CI: 1.51-12.61, I2 = 0% and OR = 6.99, 95%CI: 1.61-30.30, I2= 0%, respectively), and the ABCG2 gene rs2231142 CC genotype and presence of diarrhea (OR = 3.87, 95% CI: 1.53-9.84, I2 = 39%). No ABCB1 or ABCG2 genes were positively associated with the severity of adverse reactions associated with gefitinib. In conclusion, this study showed that ABCB1 and ABCG2 variants are likely to exhibit clinical implications in predicting the presence of adverse reactions to gefitinib.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. The initial treatment of lung cancer depends on the definition of the tumor type and its staging. The most common treatment is chemotherapy, and the first-line treatment is a combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel. Although this treatment has good efficacy, there is a high prevalence of adverse events, particularly hematological reactions. Studies on new biomarkers related to these adverse events, such as circulating microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs), are important for optimizing the quality of life of patients. miRNAs have high stability in several biological fluids and they have specific expressions in different tissues or pathologies. Thus, the present study aimed to assess the relationship between circulating miRNAs and adverse hematologic reactions caused by treatment with carboplatin + paclitaxel in patients with lung cancer. Blood was collected from patients before and 15 days after chemotherapy for hematological adverse reaction analysis, microarray and quantitative (q)PCR validation. Adverse reactions were classified according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.0. Microarray analysis was performed using plasma from six patients without anemia and six patients with anemia, and nine miRNAs were differentially expressed. miR-1273g-3p, miR-3613-5p and miR-455-3p, identified using microarray, were assessed using qPCR in 20 patients without anemia and 26 patients with anemia. Bioinformatic analyses of miR-455-3p were performed using miRWalk, the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery and GeneMania software. Microarray analysis of patients with and without anemia revealed nine significant differentially-expressed plasma miRNAs among these patients. Of these, miR-1273g-3p, miR-3613-5p and miR-455-3p were chosen for further assessment. Only miR-455-3p demonstrated a significant reduction in expression (P=0.04) between the groups before chemotherapy with carboplatin + paclitaxel. Bioinformatics analysis of miR-455-3p revealed a relationship between this miRNA and the hematopoietic pathway, particularly with respect to the RUNX family transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) and TAL bHLH transcription factor 1, erythroid differentiation factor (TAL1) genes. The most prevalent adverse reactions in patients with lung cancer treated with carboplatin + paclitaxel were hematological, particularly anemia. This adverse reaction, caused by dysfunction of the hematopoietic system, may be explained by a possible association between the important genes in this system, RUNX1 and TAL1, and hsa-miR-455-3p.
